Having had autism since birth, I tend to see autistic-related issues from a personal perspective. In searching for answers for myself, I have discovered what works and what does not work in intervention techniques, and would like to share them with you as well. Even from the start, at the time I made my self-discovery, I wanted to find ways to help others and I wanted my writing to be unconventional. While I have done countless hours of medical research involving controlled studies, I prefer to speak from personal experience and share what has personally helped me to function as highly as I do. In working with others, I have discovered that many of the same things that work so well for me have, when implemented, worked amazingly well in helping others live higher quality lives. With my own eyes, I've seen children who had constantly suffered sensory torture, now are happy, well-behaved, and functioning at a level much higher than previously, and the staff and family working with them happy as well. What affects one person in the autistic community, affects all. My hope, my dream, is that everyone will come to understand autism as I understand it.
